Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아일라 카올 일라의 1979 빈티지가 지닌 옅은 훈연과 짭조름한 바닷내음이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 30년 장기 숙성으로 피트는 부드러워지고 레몬과 왁스가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 57.1도에서 시트러스와 토피, 잘 익은 배와 가벼운 재가 또렷하게 발전한다. 피니시는 산뜻한 연기와 미네랄, 옅은 소금기로 길게 이어지며 오래 숙성한 아일라다운 구조감이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a rather bitter, rubbery and milky start, on huge notes of crushed leaves, raw propolis, manure and rubber bands. Gets then very milky and porridgy, with also quite some cheap perfume (yes, lavender). Immature and hard to enjoy on the nose, I’m afraid
restaurant Palate
ah, this is a little better although it’s still bitter and rubbery at the attack, as well as very mashy. We do have these perfumy notes as well (lavender). Develops on pineapple sweets, crystallised oranges, notes of tequila… Well… Rather long but cardboardy (and waxy) finish, with also something like ginger tonic and heavily hopped beer. Ahem... 67 points . October 26, 2006 TASTING – TWO NEW ‘BELGIAN’ CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 1979/2006 (57.4%, Taste Still, cask #2796, 227 bottles)
